Introduction
Efforts to grow farmers groups in Indonesia have been started since the Dutch colonial era until now
(Yunasaf, 2007). The growth and development of farmers groups is done through the supervision of
farmers groups which is guided to applying agribusiness system, increasing the role, participation of
farmers by increasing cooperation between farmers and other related parties in order to increase
their farm business (Prasetyo & Falentino, 2015). Prasetyo and Falentino (2015) further stated that
the development of farmers group is expected to help to explore farmers’ potentials, solve their
problems of farming more effectively, and facilitate farmers in accessing information, markets,
technology, capital and other resources.
Until now, farmer group are still used as the main approach in extension activities (Deptan,
2000). The group approach is considered as more efficient and can be a media for learning and
experimentation process for farmers, so it is expected to change the behavior of farmers to be better
or quality (Margono, 2001). To build qualified farmers, the existing farmers groups must have the
power to determine and influence the behavior of groups and its members in achieving the goals
effectively.
Study on the farmers group leadership and its relationship to the group effectiveness is
important because of the following: 1) the role of leadership is required in ensuring order, compliance

with rules, norms and policies and reducing conflict; 2) based on the previous studies, there are still
problems of farmers group on the group effectiveness.
Some previous studies found that the obstacles faced by farmers group are the following: a) the
limited ability of the head of the farmers group to access agricultural production facilities (Prasetya
& Falentino, 2015); b) the existing farmers groups have not shown their effectiveness as expected; c)
the function of farmers group as interaction medium has not functioned effectively; d) lack of leader’s
role to encourage the group’s effectiveness, the leader can not catch the members’ aspiration
(Yunasaf, 2007); e) the leader is not able to mobilize participation in making the work plan and can
not motivate the members (Yunasaf, 1997); f) the low leadership level of the group leader and the
low of factors or forces that can encourage the behavior of groups and their members to achieve
their goals effectively (Yunasaf, Ginting, Slamet, & Tjitropranoto, 2008); g) the group has not
performed its functions or performance well (Siddiq, 2014); and h) the low participation of the actors
in the group (Adong, Mwara & Okoboi, 2013).
The purpose of this study is to know the relationship between leadership of the board and the
effectiveness of farmer groups as an effort to grow the farmer group.

Discussion
Leadership based on Nature and Behavior
Leadership by nature is a judgment that shows the ability of a farmers’ group board in
leadership by virtue of the traits he normally does in leading. Leadership within a farmers’ group is
volunteer leadership based on the choice of members. According to Miller (2008) one of the lessons
we have received is someone becomes leader because others ask him to lead. Therefore, many of
the farmers do not understand the potential of leadership they have. Miller (2008) stated that
generally leaders do not understand the leadership skills and potential they have when leading. Based
on the study result, the leadership level of farmers’ group is shown in Table 1 and Table 2.
Table 1 shows that by its nature, the leadership level of the farmers group is intermediate
with a percentage of 59.53 - 75.16 percent. The intermediate level of leadership is indicated from the
limited ability of the farmers in mobilizing the members to do the activities, the lack of desire to lead,
the spirit to advance the group, and the lack of confidence. The intermediate leadership is caused by
inadequate leadership knowledge in management and communication. The inadequate management
knowledge is related to the skill in managing members. The inadequate communication knowledge
is related to the low self-confidence. The confidence is one of the factors that influence in the
effectiveness of communicating. According to Mubarok and Priatna (2016) a leader needs to have
communication skills.
Leadership based on behavior indicates the leader's orientation in leading its members. The
intended leader orientation is the leader's orientation towards group task completion or humanist
relationships to its members. Table 2 shows the distribution of leadership behavior of Farmers
Contact Person based on respondents’ statement.
Table 2 shows the leadership value of the farmers group based on the orientation to the tasks
included in the normal/enough category with a percentage of 45.89%. The values include the
following behaviors: the ability to explain what the member hopes for, the ability to explain the idea,

578
International Journal of Academic Research in Business and Social Sciences

the ability to include members' suggestions, the ability to decide what to do, to ensure that the roles
within the group are understood by the members, the ability to schedule the completion time of
work, the desire to make changes, the ability to maintain certainty of performance standards, as well
as the ability to require members to follow the standard rules and regulations of the group.
Leadership based on task orientation is dominant in providing input for change.
Based on these results, the role played by the board is still not maximal, it will make leader
difficult to achieve the group goals and make the leadership ineffective. According to Derue (2011)
and Mubarok (2016), leadership based on task orientation dominates leader effectiveness.
The study results shows that, based on the orientation of the relationship, the leadership of
the board or the group included in the category normal/adequate with a percentage of 53.25%. The
values are composed of the following behaviors: very open and accessible, encouraging members in
carrying out procedures, taking small actions to comfort the members of the group, making clear
attitudes toward the group, treating the whole group together. In paying attention to member
welfare, orientation of leadership relationship of group still less dominant.
Yulk (2005) stated that the relations-oriented leaders will be more attentive, supportive and
helpful to their subordinates (members). Based on the result of research, orientation of relation of
the farmers group is normal.

Analysis of the Relationship between Leadership with Group Effectiveness

This study examines the relationship between leadership characteristics based on the nature and
leadership based on behavior with the effectiveness of the farmer group. The test used is Spearman
correlation test. Spearman correlation test is used because the variables of leadership characteristics
based on the nature and behavior are ordinal data while the group effectiveness variable is nominal
data. The variables of leadership characteristics based on the properties tested are drive, desire to
lead, honesty and integrity, self confidence, intelligence, job relevant knowledge, and extraversion.
The variables tested on behavioral leadership characteristics are orientation towards task and
relationship orientation. In the group effectiveness variables tested were group productivity, group
morale and level of member satisfaction.
This study analyzes the relationship between leadership by nature with group effectiveness
ie group productivity, group morale and member satisfaction level (Table 3) and analyzed the
relationship between behavioral leadership and group effectiveness (group productivity, group
morale and member satisfaction level) (Table 4).
Table 3 shows that the results of Spearman's correlation test indicating there is a relationship
between self-confidence with the effectiveness of the group. Confidence is significantly and positive
correlated to the group productivity with r = 0.236 *. This means that the more confidence in
managing the group, the higher the producvity of the target group. There is still lack of confidence
of the leader in mobilizing the members. The lack of confidence is caused by inadequate leadership
knowledge in management and communication. The confidence is one of the factors that influence
in the effectiveness of communicating (Mubarok & Priatna, 2016). According to Mubarok and Priatna
(2016) leaders need to increase communication and management skills to increase their confidence.
The Spearman correlation test results (Table 3) also indicate a correlation between the job
relevant knowledge with the effectiveness of the group. Job relevant knowledge is significantly and
positive correlated to the group productivity with r = 0.227 *. This means that the more the job
knowledge of manager’s have in managing the group, the more productive group will be. Based on
the result (Table 1) the leadership level on job relevant knowledge still low (intermediate level), so
579

the leader is not able to mobilize participation in making the work plan. The lack role played by the
board will make leader difficult to achieve the group goals and make the leadership ineffective.
Table 4 Spearman correlation test results shows that there is a relationship between
orientation to task with the effectiveness of the farmers’ group. The orientation to the task is
significantly and positively correlated to the level of member satisfaction with the value of r = 0.236
*. This means that the higher the orientation to task of the board, the higher the level of satisfaction
of the members of the group. The more ability to explain what the member hopes for, the more
ability to explain the idea, the more ability to include members' suggestions, the more ability to
decide what to do, the more ability to schedule the completion time of work, the more ability to
maintain certainty of performance standards, as well as the more ability to require members to follow
the standard rules and regulations of the group will increase member satisfaction level. According to
Derue (2011) and Mubarok (2016), leadership based on task orientation dominates leader
effectiveness.
Spearman correlation test results (Table 4) also show that there is a relationship between
orientation to relationship with the effectiveness of farmers’ group. The orientation to relationship
is very significantly and positive correlated to the level of member satisfaction with the value of r =
0.335 **. This means that the higher the level of relationship of the board with the members, the
satisfaction level of the group members will be higher too. The higher values of the following
behaviors: very open and accessible, encouraging members in carrying out procedures, taking small
actions to comfort the members of the group, making clear attitudes toward the group, treating the
whole group together, the higher the level of satisfaction of the members of the group. Acording to
Yunasaf et al. (2008) the high leadership level of the group leader and the high of factors or forces
that can encourage the behavior of groups and their members to achieve their goals effectively.
So it can be stated that there is a relationship between leadership with the effectiveness of
farmers’ group. Findings from previous studies indicated that there is a relationship between
leadership and group effectiveness (Zakariyya 2010, Mutmainah & Sumardjo 2014, Tahitu 2016, Yanti
2015, Anantanyu et al. 2009, Astuti 2010 and Santoso 2008); leadership impact on performance
(Mundung et al 2015).

Limitations of the Study

Findings of the study were beneficial to increasing the group effectiveness. However, findings of the
study cannot be generalized because of the small sample size. Further study in the others field will
confirm that different culture might influence the grups effectiveness.

Conclusion
The Spearman correlation test on the relationship between leadership by nature and group
effectiveness including group productivity, group morality and level of satisfaction of members of
indicate that there is relationship between confidences with the group effectiveness. Confidence is
significantly and positively correlated to the group productivity with r = 0.236 *. This means that the
more confidence in managing the group, the higher the producvity of the group. The Spearman
correlation test results also indicate a correlation between the job relevant knowledge and the
effectiveness of the group. Job relevant knowledge is significantly and positively correlated to the
group productivity with r = 0.227 *. This means that the more confidence of leaders in managing the
group, the higher group productivity will be.

There is a relationship between orientation to task with the group effectiveness including
group productivity, group morale and level of member satisfaction. The orientation to the task is
significantly and positively related to the level of member satisfaction with the value of r = 0.236 *.
This means that the higher the orientation to task of the board, the higher the level of satisfaction of
the members of the group. Spearman correlation test results also show there is a relationship
between orientation to relationship with the effectiveness of farmers’ group. The orientation to
relationship is very significantly and positively related to the level of member satisfaction with the
value of r = 0.335 **. This means that the higher the level of relationship of the board with its
members, the higher the satisfaction level of group members will be.
Thus, there is a relationship between the leadership of the board (based on nature and
behavior) with the effectiveness of the farmers’ group (based on group productivity, group moral,
and the satisfaction level of the member).
